EDGE WEIGHTED SPACING OF LEDS FOR IMPROVED UNIFORMITY RANGE

摘要

A light source may comprise a housing, a window mounted in a front plane of the housing, a window length spanning a front plane length, and a linear array of light-emitting elements within the housing. The linear array may be aligned with and emit light through the window, and the linear array may span the window length, wherein first and last light-emitting elements of the linear array are positioned adjacent to widthwise edges of the window, and wherein window sidewalls at the widthwise edges are aligned flush with housing sidewalls.

1. A light source, comprising:
a housing; a window mounted in a front plane of the housing, a window length spanning a length of the front plane; and a linear array of light-emitting elements enclosed within the housing and the window, the linear array aligned with and emitting light through a window front plane and window sidewalls, and the linear array spanning the window length, wherein first and last light-emitting elements of the linear array are positioned adjacent to widthwise edges of the window, and wherein the window sidewalls at the widthwise edges are aligned flush with housing sidewalls.
